Religion or belief discrimination: Christian telesales agent alleges dismissal for refusal to lie to customers

Hawkins v Universal Utilities Ltd t/a Unicom ET/2501234/2012

religion or belief discrimination | philosophical belief | manifestation of religious belief

This employment tribunal held that a Christian telesales agent's belief that potential customers should not be deceived to obtain sales could be protected under the Equality Act 2010. However, the claimant lost his case because he did not present sufficient evidence that his former employer had required him to lie to potential customers.
